Why do emails sent with Gmail from an alias not appear in the sent items?

email, gmail, google-apps

Solution

i just figured it out and it now works, even previously sent mails from an alias via gmail also appear in my sent messages.

in gmail, go to settings, account and imports, in the "send mail as" section, click on "edit info" next to the account which you are having the problem with. on the screen which pops up, uncheck the radio box for "treat as an alias" dont change any other info, click next step, enter your password and click save changes.

thats all it took to sort out my issue.

best regards

Problem

I have an email address set up on a certain domain, and I have added an alias email address in my Google Apps account set up on another domain. I've also added that alias on the second domain to "Send mail as" to be able to send emails from that email address. Problem is that when I send emails from that alias, they don't appear in the sent items. Why is this? How can I resolve it?
